Abstract Effectively managing freshwater recreational fisheries and sustaining participation requires understanding the demographic characteristics of anglers and the relationships between angler motivations and stated behaviors. We surveyed freshwater anglers in Florida, USA to assess demographic characteristics, stated fishing behaviors, choice of target species, motivations, and communication modes. Generalized ordinal logistic regression analyses of these factors revealed several significant differences among demographic groups, such as targeted species, travel distance and mode of fishing. There were also broad similarities. Anglers of differing races/ethnicities were characterized by a similar suite of motivations for fishing, and most demographic groups used similar communication channels. This challenges ideas that non-white anglers are well-characterized by singular motivations for fishing (like food or socialization), or that agencies lack tools to communicate with these anglers. Results suggest that management agencies may best serve and diverse anglers by ensuring varied angling opportunities are accessible and that information is communicated directly between agents and anglers.

美国佛罗里达州不同淡水垂钓者的目标物种选择行为建模

摘要 有效管理淡水休闲渔业和持续参与需要了解垂钓者的人口特征以及垂钓者动机与陈述行为之间的关系。我们调查了美国佛罗里达州的淡水垂钓者，以评估人口特征、陈述的捕鱼行为、目标物种的选择、动机和交流模式。这些因素的广义有序逻辑回归分析揭示了人口群体之间的几个显着差异，例如目标物种、旅行距离和捕鱼方式。也有广泛的相似之处。不同种族/民族的垂钓者具有相似的钓鱼动机，并且大多数人口群体使用相似的沟通渠道。这挑战了非白人垂钓者的特点是钓鱼的单一动机（如食物或社交），或者机构缺乏与这些垂钓者沟通的工具的观点。结果表明，管理机构可以通过确保可以获得各种垂钓机会并在代理和垂钓者之间直接交流信息，从而为不同垂钓者提供最佳服务。
